Headmaster praises students for 'remarkable' set of results at Skegness Grammar

Jude Hunton welcomed the students back to school for the final time before they continue their ‘own unique story’ and said: “We are incredibly pleased to celebrate these remarkable results today from our talented, hard-working students.

"Despite the terrible time of the unprecedented pandemic, our scholars have performed brilliantly.

"They are leaving us today and each young person has their own unique story connected to their grades.

"Their stories are all different, however they share similar themes of firm resilience, lots of practice, unyielding ambition and sound consciences.

"We are very proud of all of them and all the staff at Skegness Grammar School wish them well for the next chapter in their lives.

"They may be at the end of their SGS journey today, however, we say you will always be a Skegness Grammar School student.”

These are the first set of exam results for A levels since 2019. Grades have been awarded using teacher assessment for the past two years due to all the disruption caused by the pandemic.
